The Impact Of Biodiversity Conservation On The Practice Of Traditional Medicine, Nat Quansah

Nat Quansah

Knowing and understanding what biodiversity conservation is as well as what traditional medicine practice is will enable us to decipher whether biodiversity conservation has an impact on the practice of traditional medicine or not. And if there is an impact which sort of impact? What is biodiversity? Biodiversity, the shortened version of biological diversity is the various forms of living organisms inhabiting the planet (the diversity of living things on earth). It suffices to say then that human beings are part of biodiversity since humans are also living things. What is conservation? The management of the human use of the …

Carbon Monoxide Poisonings And Fatalities Associated With Recreational Watercraft, Dale Stephenson

Dale J. Stephenson

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas generated from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon-based fuels. Medical research has shown that human exposure to elevated concentrations of CO can cause serious injury or death. Of increasing concern are CO-related poisonings and fatalities associated with the use of recreational watercraft. Currently there is a lack of awareness of this health hazard among the general public. This presentation summarizes the risks and dangers recreational watercraft users may face from carbon monoxide exposure.

Progress Delayed: State Of Tobacco Control Policymaking In Oklahoma From 2005-2011, Michael S. Givel, Ami E. Stearns, Andrew L. Spivak

Michael S. Givel

• Oklahoma’s 1987 Smoking In Public Places Act required the inclusion of smoking sections in restaurants and pre-empted more stringent local anti-tobacco laws with state regulations. • With the 2001 arrival of an aggressive new Commissioner of Health, Dr. Leslie Beitsch, the tide turned with new legislation (Senate Joint Resolution 21 in 2003) that prohibited smoking inside public places and required restaurants to build separately-ventilated “smoking rooms.” • In 2004, State Question 713 increased the cigarette tax by 55 cents per package. • Dr. Beitsch resigned in 2003 and since that time, efforts toward clean air have stalled. Although restaurants …

Practical Lessons On Running And Jumping From Computer Simulations, Ross H. Miller, Graham E. Caldwell

Graham E. Caldwell

Running and jumping are important movements for the success of athletes. Researchers in biomechanics, motor control, and sports science often use computer modeling and simulation to study the optimal performances of these movements. Simulation techniques have not been widely applied to actually assessing and improving athletic performance, although the potential for this application exists. In this review, we (1) present an introduction to the basic concepts of modeling and simulation with the athlete and coach in mind, (2) summarize the unique information that has been gained over the last 30 years from computer simulations of human running and jumping, and …

Predicting Adolescents’ Future Intentions To Seek Help For Mental Health Problems., Coralie J. Wilson

Coralie J Wilson

This study examined whether high school students’ current symptoms of general psychological distress, self-rated social problem-solving skills, and recent help-seeking experiences predict their future intentions to seek help for a mental health problem. At Time 1, 98 high school students, aged 12-17 years, completed the study self-report survey that included measures of psychological distress, social problem-solving skill, and recent help-seeking behaviour. At Time 2, three weeks later, the same students completed measures of help-seeking intentions. Students with more severe levels of distress symptoms at Time 1 had lower intentions to seek help for a mental health problem at Time 2. …

Early Access And Help Seeking: Practice Implications And New Initiatives., Coralie J. Wilson

Coralie J Wilson

Seeking appropriate help for early signs and symptoms of psychological distress can reduce the long-term impact of many mental disorders. This article describes practice implications and new initiatives for promoting early access and help-seeking among young people. Relevant help-seeking research is reviewed, and prominent help-seeking barriers are discussed. Prominent barriers for young people include: incomplete mental health and emotional literacy, beliefs about having little need for help versus having a need for autonomy, and the process of help-negation for different symptoms of psychological distress. To improve early access to appropriate help and mental health services, barriers that can be reduced, …
